    Have you ever tried to do something like play "Count To 50 Before a Staff Member Posts"?
    It's hard, isn't it?
    Mainly because you have to wait around 25 between each post! (Or 30, I'm not positive...)
    Another common problem caused by this is when you post something, then someone else posts something, and you really want to reply quickly, but you can't.

    Let's shorten the wait time!


    To play devil's advocate, there is also the worry of spam being caused by this. If people don't have to wait between posts, what's to stop them from doing exactly what they do on the server? This would allow spammers to come on and post messages every second!

    The forum game isnt important enough to worry about a shorter wait time.
    There is no need for a shorter wait time, you just got to place everything you want to say in one post, or just spend 15 seconds typing another message, and it not like its the longest wait ever. I coped just fine. Although it did give me a reason to yell at my laptop :p

    Its fine the way it is as it prevents spam. It is annoying on the "Count to 50..." Threads :p

    It's fine the way it is. People might abuse it, it's to prevent people from spamming the forums and it's doing a good job of it. No support

    I go for 5 seconds. This is because if we get swamped in spam, moderators. If you need to "recruit" some forum moderators, so it will be. It can be really annoying when you're trying to respond to profile posts or reporting spambots to be honest.
